We realize applying for jobs can feel daunting at times. We don’t expect you to check all the qualification boxes and encourage you to apply if you have experience in some of the areas.

The OTE for this role is $165,000 to $235,000, consisting of roughly 50/50 base and commission. Commission is uncapped, and this role is also eligible for equity and benefits. This range is the lowest to highest salary we in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting and reflects compensation for roles based in New York City. Actual compensation may differ for positions in other locations and we may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range. An employee’s pay position within the wage range will be based on several factors including, but limited to, relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, geographic location, performance, and business or organizational needs. This compensation range may also be modified in the future.

As an equal-opportunity employer, we are committed to building an inclusive environment where you can be you. We work hard to evaluate all employees and job applicants consistently, without regard to race, color, religion, gender, natural origin, age, disability, pregnancy, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected class.
